The lack of all the fashions on the red carpet is perhaps the most depressing thing to me right now about the possible ceremony cancellation.

I actually think it would be in poor taste for Keira to show up wearing THE dress. It's already been done, and it's preserved on celluloid forever. Give us something new Ms. Knightley - you're fabulous enough, you can definitely top yourself.

Well, considering the movie she stars in is nominated for seven oscars inc best picture I'm sure they'd rather have her there than any number of old geezers who show up every.single.year. purely because they can.

If the show does go on I just hope they allow someone other than Jack Nicholson to present best picture. Also, someone other than Cameron Diaz to present animated feature and someone other than Queen Latifah to present best original song. Is it so hard to mix things up a bit?

i would love to work on presenters! It think it would be really cool to have Louis Jordan and Leslie Caron do best picture...50th anniversay of "GiGi". other best pic ideas: Faye Dunaway & Warren Beatty do best pic (40 years since bonnie & clyde)? Doris Day? Liza Minnelli / Joe Grey? Woody Allen & Diane Keaton? John travolta / olivia newton john? Cher / nicholas cage? Kathleen turner & william hurt? ann-margret? other thoughts?

How about that red one she wore for the Coco Mademoiselle perfume commercial? That was equally as gorgeous. She should definately wear something 30's/40's inspired. It would wipe the floor with all the usual puffed up normal ones.
